As you've probably noticed, we're fans of Floating Wetlands.
We believe (and the data shows!) the benefits of adding one to your property far outweigh the costs.
Throughout the Midwest, water bodies struggle with unnaturally high nutrient loads. We see algal blooms, dead zones, and missed water quality targets. Currently, the go-to treatment methods include expensive dredging and chemical treatment. But there is another solution!
Floating wetlands can offer a natural, customizable solution to treat excess nutrients and mitigate algal blooms. How do these wetlands work? They imitate natural wetlands and create a complex community within the root system to uptake and sequester excess nutrients, and even certain contaminants. The result? An algae free water body with a beautiful wetland, all without chemicals or mechanical dredging!
In addition to the water treatment, these little beauties also provide a habitat for pollinators, birds, fish, and local wildlife. Everything from the size and shape of the islands, to the plant mix used is fully customizable. Drop us a line to schedule your free 30 minute Zoom consultation to see if floating wetlands are right for you! We have experience installing wetlands into any body of water, customizing a solution for each client we serve.
Don’t wait! Floating Wetlands are a proven, long-term solution and prevention to many water quality issues. Plus, the quicker we get started the quicker you can get a great ROI off your Floating Wetland. Oh yeah, and your pond or lake will also get the natural, sustainable, year-round care you can enjoy for many years to come.
